Description

This is Listra.

This lovely lady is the older sister of Rintel. She travels with her brother, and they gather music and stories and perform them all over the land. She is the responsible one of the pair. She not only performs with her brother, but keeps care of the instruments; negotiates, haggles, and otherwise does her best to keep money and food coming to them; and is the one who makes plans rather than charging about the countryside at random.

Apart from "storysmithing" (telling and collecting stories and songs) Listra has two highly marketable skills: she is a luthier (a maker of stringed instruments), and she is a scribe of sorts. She either made or repaired all of the instruments they have, and she sometimes has been known to branch out and work on other instruments, with or without strings. She does not like doing general carpentry, and will only venture away from instrumental woodwork if it's absolutely necessary, like to fix a broken cart or something. She charges low rates for her scribe skills, allowing those who don't read or write so well to communicate with people far away and avoiding the high fees locals might charge (or messengers, some of those Ricari messengers charge a lot for that kind of thing, or haven't you heard?)

She's very protective of her hands, because they are essentially her main source of income. She argues with her brother frequently, not liking his habit of rushing into idiotic situations and getting them both into trouble. She usually ends up going along with his shenanigans though, and she often regrets it. Unless she's playing it, she always keeps the two dulcimer hammers in her hair, as this is her preferred source of aduro for any spells she might need. Like her brother, she usually only does minor magic to enhance her performances, but she also sometimes works stronger magic. She's much better at magic in general than Rintel, but his glamories are much more believable than hers.

Listra is adamant that they stay away from any battles between the Terata and the Gareca. This, of course, means that they will inevitably end up in the thick of it sometime soon.
